Mossley Hill Childcare and Mossley Hill Childcare 2 are independent private day nurseries situated within the same secure grounds in the leafy suburbs of Sefton Park. The nurseries are run by Christine Barnes BA ( Hons) QTS who also has Early Years Professional Status.  The nurseries are closely monitored by CCTV 24 hours a day.  There are discounts for siblings of 10% and teachers are entitled to a reduced rate during summer holidays.  The nurseries have an excellent reputation and have a lot of custom through word of mouth.  There are strong links between parents and carers and children's learning has been deemed good (2018) by Ofsted, preparing them for the transition through nursery into school. We offer both 15 and 30 hour government funded childcare. for 2, 3 and 4 year olds.  Our 2023 Ofsted report speaks about the inclusiveness of our setting anf the independence of the children which is the ethos of our settings.

Other notes

Two of our staff, the SENCo and Deputy SENCo have attended the 2 day portage training and the Senco Award to equip them in working more closely with families and children with additional needs and learning barriers. They are also attending the Outcome Star training to help them interact more with families and their children.  The Deputy Senco is also the one of our Welcomm co ordinators and will help record information and review results.  We cater for children with varied additional needs and Ofsted did comment on the inclusiveness of our setting (Ofsted report 2023)

• Key people plan effectively with realistic targets to help children achieve at their individual rate.  Key people meet with parents regularly to disuse progress at pick up times/parents evenings/scheduled key meetings.

Children’s progress is monitored regularly and through transition progress to different rooms, planning is bases on differentiating activities to children current needs and interest.  Key people plan by closely observing children and planning effective next steps. Regular play plans are recorded for children requiring additional help. Parents are kept involved with their child's progress if staff realise early intervention is required from outside agencies. The cluster groups provide help with funding and training so children can be helped to reach heir full potential. Portage training taken on by our SENCo and deputy SENCo has been really beneficial in helping identify additional needs or signposting for the best help.
